It was brought to my attention that the Outrigger Canoe Club staff are being treated poorly by some members and guests regarding the parking situation. This behavior is unacceptable. This is not who we are as Rotarians. Each week we recite our 4-Way Test. These are not just words, but ideals that we strive to live by.
OCC is working hard to improve the safety of their parking structure for all. This project will not last forever. In the end, the structure upgrade is for the benefit of everyone.
Parking at the Outrigger is limited to Outrigger Canoe Club members with decals only as of June 10.
Please be patient and kind with the Outrigger staff. We will continue to keep you updated as Outrigger gives us information.
Alternate Parking: There is usually ample parking around Kapiolani Park on Kalākaua Avenue at only 25 cents per half hour (coin meters - so bring quarters!) For those who can walk a little further, Paki Avenue on the mauka side of the park has free parking with no time limit.
Please let President Tom Coyne know if you have mobility issues or need assistance with parking and he will connect you with members who can provide assistance.
Your friendly Club Administrator here with a few housekeeping requests.
PLEASE preregister to attend if at all possible. We are required to give a headcount to the venue.
ALL WALK-INS - member or not - pay $50.
Do NOT assume I know you are attending. Exception is for Members who have opted for the Prepaid Lunch Plans.
Prepaid Member Lunches: One of the perks of prepaying for your lunches is automatic registration for the meeting, even if you do not attend.
Make Up Meetings: Please email me the date and location/Club you attended. If you do not alert me, I cannot give you Attendance Credit. Many of us like to patron other clubs, so please inform me when you do so I can credit you. This also helps with our overall attendance record.
A REQUEST FROM OUR SERVICE DIRECTOR, NANCY YOUNGREN

Apologies. Apparently, the link isn't working properly, so please email and let me know when and what you can help with! Mahalo!
The Rotary Club of Honolulu's Gift of Sound Committee would like to remind folks of Rotary/Miracle Ear’s ‘Free’ hearing aid program. Please read the Generations Magazine article for more information.
Also note, the old Rotary number is in the article. Rotary’s new phone number is: 808.457.6356.
Better yet, all anyone qualifying for a free hearing aid can go to any Miracle Ear in Hawaii. Miracle Ear will contact Rotary for the application fee when needed. Simple, huh?
Best advice to everyone over the age of 55.
Please get a hearing exam every 3 years.
Just for the sake of sound mind and body.
Mahalo Nui Loa,
Rick Tabor, ‘Can You Hear Me Now’ Questions welcomed.
FYI - Please help spread the word. Only 16% needing hearing aids, wear them. We’re offering an improvement.

Incoming President Tom Coyne has been working closely with our current and 2025 Club Treasurer Lucci Pinoliad, as well as with current President Joanna Amberger to finalize our budget for 2025. With membership staying steady at 117 members and with inflation increasing the cost of operating the club, we have little choice but to implement an increase for our membership dues. The chart shows the current dues rate and the new dues rate effective July 1, 2024.
